Our year so far...
Well, 2010 ended really well for us at the Westwood home. The beginning of 2011 was kind of a downer but things are looking up again. I'm getting over being sick and I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. Some things going on around our house... Scott's cousin called and said that he had a TV that was ours at his house. I don't recall this TV and Scott vaguely remembers it but it is a lot bigger than our 12 inch TV so we brought it home. The only bad thing about it is that it doesn't have a remote. SO... we programed this bad boy...
Someone gave this to us (I can't remember who), but they gave it to us thinking Scott would think it's funny. We both think it's funny and we programmed it to our TV. It can make laser sounds when you push the buttons. Although not "trekkies", we find great humor in this remote.
As for our boy...he has found his favorite place in the house and he goes and stands there until we open the blinds each day. Then he sits there all afternoon.
And last but not least, I have a fabulous husband who buys me flowers (that still look this amazing after 2 weeks). I love him more than words can express and I'm so grateful that for his unconditional love. I'm a lucky lucky girl!

The close of another year...
Another year has come to a close and it's probably been the most eventful and the best close of a year we've had since we've been married. Our Christmas was awesome! I didn't take many pictures (which I know I will regret in years to come, and IS one of my resolutions), but here are a few...
Christmas Eve we had our favorite foods...
I cooked for quite a while to get this on, but it was so heavenly.
Christmas morning came and we rolled out of bed at around 9. It is so great to be able to get up when we felt like it.

The best part of the last week is that we got to spend so much time with family! Scott's parents, brother and his wife drove from Missouri and were able to spend a couple days with us here in Price. We also spent a lot of time with them throughout the week in SLC and Logan.
New Year's Eve we were able to spend some time with my family. We stayed with them while we were up there but we were so busy with Scott's family and other obligations that that was the only night we were able to spend some quality time with them and it was a lot of fun.
New Year's brought a visit to freezing Logan for a baptism for our nephew. We are always glad when we can attend special events in the lives of our family.
We are now home and there is no place we would rather be. We are excited for all of the adventures we have planned for this year and we know that each year is what you make it, so we plan on making this one the best one yet!

I love this place
I know that you would never expect me to say that I love Price but I have grown to love it. Does it mean I want to stay here forever? Um... no. But there are some great things about living in a small town. Last night we were able to attend a community Christmas concert. It was a gathering involving 2 LDS stakes in Price, the Methodist congregation and the Lutheran congregation. It was so cool to be gathered with different people with different believes but having been brought together because of our belief in our Savior and being able to celebrate the commemoration of his birth. Things like this makes me love living in a small town.
Some other things going on in our lives:
As of right now, I'm a prisoner in our living room. I had the day off today and Scott and Grady (our landlord/friend) have been working on updating our bathroom. Our house is over 100 years old and a lot of the features in the house are over 50 years old, including our bathtub. It wasn't very good at draining and had caused some mold problems so they have spent the day taking out our old tub and installing a new one. This has forced me to lay around watching TV, having some much needed cuddle time with Cosmo and reading a book. I feel totally unproductive and cooped up but the end result is going to rock!
In other news, I'm not done with my Christmas shopping. That is on my agenda for this week. Also we are excited that we get to stay home for Christmas. Our plan is to have a Christmas Eve dinner and have a nice breakfast on Christmas morning and then we will stay in our jammies all day and snack on leftovers and watch movies... or Lost episodes. Scott's parents are driving from Missouri and will be here on Sunday night and then we will be spending the next week up in SLC. We are pretty excited to spend some time with them and with my family.
Scott got his first 4.0 ever! Granted he only took one class but I'm still pretty proud of him and his hard work. Also I'm loving my new position at work. I stay really busy and it makes my days go by very quickly, it's also very rewarding.
I really love this time of year and I try hard to take each moment and savor it. It's a time to reflect on how much we have and how abundantly blessed we are. I've been a little impatient lately and struggling to figure out why things aren't happening when I want them to happen, but I forget that everything always turns out how it should and I have to cling onto that faith and remember how much we've already been blessed with.
Last of all, we just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. One of these years we will do a Christmas card, but again the time has slipped away. I hope that Santa brings you everything on your list!
